How to upgrade to KitKat 4.4.4


Hello guys, what's up? welcome back to this blog, alright in this article i will show you how to upgrade your LG G pro lite to android 4.4.4 (kitkat), this is very exciting stuff.

LG G pro lite comes with android 4.1.2 out of the box, and since everybody is not patient to get the official kitkat update from LG, i decided to give you this tutorial.

With this very simple trick you can make your LG G pro lite android version from 4.1.2 (jelly bean) to 4.4.4 also known as kitkat.

Before we start, here's stuff that you will need for this tutorial :
Alright, after you have all that, we can begin the tutorial, here we go....

Step by step how to upgrade to kitkat 4.4.4 :
  • open root explorer app
  • mount as r/w (read and write)
  • go to /system folder
  • find the build.prop in there
  • press long on build.prop and then select "open in text editor"
  • find this line :
ro.build.version.release=4.1.2
  • change into this :
ro.build.version.release=4.4.4 
  • save and exit
  • reboot/restart your phone


You can see the android version by going to Settings > About phone > Android version for LG G pro lite single SIM.

And for LG G pro lite dual SIM, you can view from Settings > About phone > Common > Software information > Android version.

Now that you have android 4.4.4, you can show off to your frends or family, make your mom proud of you :)
